Okay, that might be misleading. I found out what happened. It turns out on the 11th of October, around 10-11am the 'harddisk' was not writeable. I don't know why, but I'll ask the *nix (a unix/linux OS distribution) guru's I know.
Writeable as in, it was not allowing anything to be copied onto it, that is to say, when somebody uploaded a photograph it was not really copied. What I don't understand however is that, I was able to see those photographs on that day.
I am lost, but, maybe it's something I need to learn from, like back-up the site, everyday, especially the photographs and the database. That I will begin to do.
Alas, I think it was me Tebogo Motea and NguJaz who were affected. NguJaz and I have replaced the photograph's, I've asked (e-mailed) Tebogo Motea to do the same.
